Ben Smith at Politico digs up an interesting move by a Romney supporter to try to pick up Evangelical Christian support:

Mark DeMoss, a well-connected figure in the evangelical community and Mitt Romney supporter, sent a memo last week to Christian conservatives urging them to consider “a new litmus test” beyond traditional cultural issues

“A candidate for president of the United States should be capable of becoming president, and then competent to be the president,” DeMoss wrote in a five-page missive sent to about 200 top pastors, donors, intellectuals and leaders on the Christian right...“Those who would suggest I am placing values on the back burner will be misreading me and wrong,” he wrote. “I am only saying that a candidate’s values alone are not enough to get my vote. For example, my pastor shares my values, but I don’t want him to be my president. (By the way, ‘energizing a crowd’ is also not enough; Justin Bieber can do that—but I don’t want him to be president either.)”

(Note the dig at Palin.) After all the Romney-bashing Huckabee did in 2008, it'll be interesting to see if Evangelicals can hold their nose and vote for a—gasp!—Mormon in 2012.
